Nice weather a pleasant change Bad weather ju t misses It's raining. It's pouring. This childrens rhyme seems appropriate in describing the weather in Fort Wayne this year. Above average tempera- tures throughout the winter months caused most of our snowfall to change into rain, much to the dismay of skiers everywhere. Winter came in with its usual vigor. Gusting winds and below normal tempera- tures to indicate that a cold winter was approaching. But once again, nature proved us wrong. December began with light snow on the ground and hopes of a white Christmas that was not to be. Christmas day donned bright and fair, clear and breezy with high temperatures. Ianuary and February re- sembled a rollercoaster, up and down. Flurrying skies were the only indication the winter was still around. In March it looked like spring had finally sprung, but on the first day of spring, March 21, Fort Wayne got its one and only accumulation of snow, nine inches. Schools and Businesses all over the area were closed due to the icy roads and high winds. The rest of the winter passed basically as it had begun. April and May brought many different types of weather. One moment it would be raining, the next it would be bright and sunny. Weeks of 40 degrees and be- low were followed by weeks of 80 degree temperatures. Frost warnings and tornado watches seemed to follow each other in succession. The old adage On like a lamb, out like a lion just doesn't apply to the weather of 1982-83. It was more like In like a lamb, out like a lion, and back in like a lamb again. Tornados are a part of Indiana springs so tornado drills are a part of spring in Homestead. 'yxkf 3 ft? Q-f .4-nib - v ,I fi S I if... l lr Weather 29
